i don't like that you not only need a cable or satellite package to watch it, but you also generally need to upgrade to at least the next higher package to be able to watch it... i don't think NBCsn is a bottom tier channel on any cable or satellite package.. i have never watched the 47 hours of practice, qualifying, and pre-race chatter that goes on. well, maybe the occasional practice or qualifying session if it happens to be on when i'm not doing anything, but i don't watch it to the point of boredom..
one thing that really bugged me was the coverage of the truck series race at Eldora... i work nights, so i had set my dvr to record the qualifying heat races.. all was well and good until they decided to switch networks from FS2 to FS1 right in the middle of a lap in the LCQ race- the channel guide didn't say that the coverage on FS1 started until later, so i didn't get to see the last half of what looked like a pretty intense race.. i got to see the feature- which was awesome- but i was robbed of seeing the LCQ because they figured that some sport that no one cares about was more important..
